Biography
Trained by the National Defense Medical Center of Taiwan, Lin-Gwei Wei is the only plastic surgeon in a countryside, 690-bed, military, teaching hospital, while he also works part-time in another medical center with his mentor Prof. Hsian-Jenn Wang. The busy schedules of surgeries do not suppress Dr. Wei’s curiosity about mysteries of human body, and he tries to work out some difficult clinical challenges with researches. Currently, he participates in the complex “bank of artificial skin” development program of Prof. Wang, in a clinical trial of wound-healing enhancing gel, and in an electromyographically-controlled prosthetic limb development program. He hopes that his wide interests in burn care, acute and chronic wound care, trauma care, local- and free-flap surgeries can eventually do some good to researchers and to the people, just like what he has done in his clinical practice.
